The Cronkite name,
Is one of fame
High marks, they came
To Walter, Cool Walter, (Walter)
Fair with his views
And all the news,
He paid..his dues, did Walter, (Walter)
Cool, (Walter)
Dear, (Walter)
Walter, (Walter)

Justly journal man,
In the early years, began
Radio, till TV's ran;
No anchor better than,
Great Walter, (Walter)
Broadcast the death of Kennedy, (Walter)
M.L.K. and for Bobby, (Walter)
Softly shed a tear for me..and you, (Walter)
(Walter)

With voice so cool,
Rich, vocal tool
There, from his stool, spoke Walter
Cool Walter, (Walter)
At night, or dawn,
When news was on
We'd count upon..our Walter, (Walter)
Walter, (Walter)
Walter, (Walter)
Walter, (Walter)

Walter was a star,
Never settled for just par,
Raised the journalistic bar
In the sky's a bright new star, that's Walter, (Walter)
Not satisfied to give us less, (Walter)
Showed dramatic tenderness, (Walter)
Made his word on CBS..ring true, (Walter)

Cool, (Walter)
Dear, (Walter)
Walter, (Walter)

Cool, (Walter)
Dear, (Walter)
Walter, (Cool, Dear, Walter)
